[thelist] bulletin board software

Hey isaac -

Since you've *cough* recently come into a copy of Colf Fusion, I would
use that. There's a pretty spiffy product from Allaire called "Forums"
and its pretty nice. It runs most of their developer sections on the
Allaire site. I'm not sure about cost or anything though :)

Then there's the always popular Phorum for PHP, at http://www.phorum.org
- super spiffy, no cost, runs on linux.
